What you'll need
- A ChatGPT account (free tier works)
- Carrier bulletins in PDF or text format (from your carrier portals or email)
- Time needed: 5 minutes per bulletin
- Cost: Free
How-To Guide: Summarize Carrier Bulletins with AI
Step 1: Get your carrier bulletin as text
Carrier bulletins arrive in a few formats:
- Email body: Copy and paste the email text directly into ChatGPT
- PDF attached to email: Open the PDF, select all text (Ctrl+A), copy, and paste into ChatGPT
- Carrier portal PDF: Download it, open it, select all text, copy, and paste
If the PDF has complex formatting (tables, charts) that doesn't copy well, try copying just the sections that look important — usually sections headed "Changes," "Effective Date," "New Requirements," or "Affected Classes."
